Reported by paulette_wasielak@ipsd.org on 4/21/17

Registration is now open for the Naperville Kids Marathon. This fitness program offers a unique chance to encourage students to make healthy choices, learn about goal setting and see how much fun running can be. Students commit to running 25 miles (one mile at a time) between May 1 and October 20 and track their miles. On October 21 they run the final 1.2 miles at Naperville North High School and receive a Naperville Kids Marathon finisher medal and shirt. Students can participate as part of Team IPEF and be a charity runner for their school. Participants receive a special Team IPEF shirt at the beginning of the 2017-18 school year and will be encouraged to wear it each Friday leading up to race day. Cost is $44 per child and includes race registration and a $26 tax deductible donation to the Indian Prairie Educational Foundation. Students must be 5-13 years old by October 21 to register.
